Re: Routing Incoming and Outgoing Packets Differently

Hello,

Jim Doble a écrit :
Is there a way to use one set of routing rules for incoming packets and a different set of routing rules for outgoing packets?

Yes, with advanced routing.

Quote from ip manpage (http://lartc.org/manpages/ip.txt) :

   ip rule add - insert a new rule
[...]
       iif NAME
              select the incoming device to match.  If the inter-
              face  is  loopback,  the  rule only matches packets
              originating from this host.  This  means  that  you
              may  create  separate  routing tables for forwarded
              and local packets and, hence, completely  segregate
              them.
[end of quote]

So you can create an alternate routing table for locally-generated packets. Incoming packets will use the default "main" routing table.

ip rule add iif lo lookup <output_table_number> prio 32765
ip route add <destination1> gw <gateway> table <output_table_number>
ip route add <destination2> dev <interface> table <output_table_number>
...

You need to have the following options enabled in your kernel to use this feature.
CONFIG_IP_ADVANCED_ROUTER=y
CONFIG_IP_MULTIPLE_TABLES=y
